Have you ever became friends with an ex? Is it possible?

What do you think about being friends with an ex. Considering that a certain ex used to think you are the one for him/her. Is it even possible? How can they just switch their feelings to platonic and ask you for your friendship?

Wouldn't it be easier for them and fair to a dumpee just to no see them anymore and maybe proceed friendship later, when raw feelings calmed down?

It depends on many factors, like how did you break up, how long does your relationship last? because it is so easy to be a friend of your ex if your relationship was 6 months or so rather than 5 or 6 years. Also , the reason for the break up is so important in switching an ex to " just a friend ". The real problem is there's a possible chance to be a rebound thing which is not an appealing idea TBH.

I believe you could greet him if you run into him at Walmart or sth , but that doesn't mean you are friends. He is a guy you used to be with and that's it. Let him go girl, life is too short to think about "exes".

Have to? So you make yourself seeing them differently? I mean my ex said he suppressed his emotions for me, while I did a complete cleansing of my emotions... got everything out of the system. So from my side seeing him platonicaly will come naturally, for him thou?
